1. What is the Brookline overnight guest parking program?

As a Brookline resident, you may purchase an overnight guest parking permit that will allow your guest to park in a designated parking space reserved by the town for overnight guest parking. Parking on-street or in a public lot where overnight parking is not allowed may subject you to a parking fine.

An overnight guest parking permit entitles the holder to park in a guest space between the hours of 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. on weekdays, and between 11 p.m. and 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. An overnight guest parking pass does not guarantee the holder that a guest parking space will be available in the lot closest to their residence.
